I hear a lot of people saying that LBP is going to sell massive. See a lot of people putting their faith into the title as the next great IP. See that the creators have already stated they are working on selling content and even talking about a sequel. So all in all before we have the numbers the general census is that LBP has done very well.

BUT

 

What if it hasen't? As others have mentioned we have seen this before a few times and in the 2nd week sales (proper week sales) it has been only an increase of 100k at most. Point being if LBP sales lets say 250k next week and you add that to the 150k this week would 400k in nearly 2 weeks really be seen as a success for the PS3? Would that put the console back on the path to competing with the 360 and Wii?

Or would it just mean Resistance 2 would then get the hype treatment from the Sony camp?

 

LBP will sell lots dont you worry about that, i dont expect it to do mgs4 numbers str8 away, but over time it will be continiously purchased.

another point is that argubly, LBP is a better game than anything on 360 and wii this year

another point is that PS3 has had the better games all year

stop trolling and trying to make people flame at you.

but what if your wrong? what will you do then?

 

 Obviously touched a soft spot?

Firstly im not trolling, i own all three consoles and support each console. I paid money for them all. That i think entitles me to be unbiased.

Secondly it is a legit question. Every person and every publication including this website have talked about how amazing LBP is. More so then i have seen any other game. Add to this mix there are people such as yourself who obviously are raging PS3 fanboys (the whole PS3 has the best games statement gave it away) who see it being this megaton A++ game..

I have not yet played LBP as it is not out here yet. I will pick it up and judge on my own merits. Because i don't look to the review score to see if i will buy a game or not. The only review that matters is my own and because of that i have probably enjoyed more games then you have. But hey i already said i didn't think it would sell well in Japan, i said it wasen't a Japanese style game. But were see won't we.
